Christian Osgood worked for a brilliant deal-maker with zero ethics who could finance anything but ran his business into the ground. Osgood learned what not to do, and how mentors teach you in both directions. He started with Dave Ramsey's save-and-work-hard approach, not Kiyosaki's wealth-building shortcuts.

Worked for a guy who ended up being the worst business operator I've ever met in my life. Zero business ethics, but a brilliant mind for creative finance, for deal structure. He could buy anything. Unfortunately, he could also convince other people to give him money for anything. And then the ethics came into play. You can learn a lot about how not to do business. Mentors are valuable on both sides, good and bad. I, my eyes were opened. I started with Dave Ramsey's. I was not a Kiyosaki guy. No one ever showed me that book until I started business. I'm behind everyone else in the world on that. Yeah, I was told save up, work hard, take the money, invest in real estate. I believed in that model, but I thought that I had to earn it.
